Your Council comprises the best of ornitho- logical knowledge and experience and, while we cannot hope to add much to that base, we hope to be able to support the running of the club in whatever ways we can. We have both had involvement with clubs and charities in the past including Copeland Swimming Club, Low Gillerthwaite Field Centre and Whitehaven Harbour Youth Project where we have always enjoyed a hands on approach to team work and involvement with young people. Birding wise, Mike started at junior school and progressed through wardening Little Terns, ringing exploits and membership of the Essex Club (EBWPS). Meanwhile Lyn, Whitehaven born, developed her love of birds chasing Ring Ousels on the fells! We have both enjoyed amateure'ish status on the CBC Bird Race. For years Mike's bogey bird was the Spoonbill while Lyn's was the Bittern. Lyn also lays claim to counting 42 Bald Eagles in a boring day, sea kayaking in British Columbia! Mike can't single out a favourite among birds whilst Lyn just loves the sound of Goldeneye wings. Both of us have a love of islands and in February 1975 Mike joined Mike Car- rier and the late Norman Hammond on a winter birding visit to the outer isles, which dates him. Living in Ennerdale during the 1980's led to encounters with Dotterel follower, John Callion, and Mike's first meeting with club secretary Dave Piercy. We look forward to meeting many more of you during the com- ing year and working for the good of the club. Mike and Lyn Mills, Whitehaven. Cumbria. [email protected]. 96 Black-tailed Godwits - the French connection I am aware of two colour-ringed Black-tailed Godwits that have been seen on the Duddon Estu- ary this year. It turns out they were both ringed and fitted with satellite tags on 19th December 2017 on the French coast near Rochefort, midway between Nantes and Bordeaux. The first was photographed by Paul Swales at Millom Pier on 13th May. I’ve done a lot of god- wit ring-reading and all the birds Black-tailed Godwit, Millom Pier, Paul Swales I’d seen previously had a combi- nation of ‘normal’ colour rings, so I was surprised to see the tall blue ring on the right tibia of this bird; the colour rings on the left tibia were yellow/white/ green, with the metal ring on the left tarsus (YWG/m). The back-mounted satellite tag can just be seen in Paul’s excellent photo. If my understanding of my wader guide is correct, this is a male of the Icelandic subspecies (Limosa limosa islandica) in breeding plumage. The second ringed godwit (also in breeding plumage) was seen by myself on the tern island at Hodbarrow, roosting with four other Black-tailed Godwits among 300 Redshanks at 2pm on 16th July. After the tide at Haverigg had gone out, all these birds were seen feeding on the exposed muddy intertidal area near Hodbarrow sea wall at 8.30pm. A tall blue ring with three white spots was on the right tibia, just like the previous bird, but the colour rings on the left tibia were yellow/white/white (YWW/m). The islandica subspecies ‘breeds principally in Iceland but with a few pairs in northern Scotland and northwest Norway, and winters largely in Britain, Ire- land and western France with smaller numbers in Spain and Portu- gal’ (BTO’s Migration Atlas, Wernham et al 2002). Egg laying starts in late May in Iceland (BWP), so presumably YWG/m was on its way to its breeding grounds. Black-tailed Godwits start to arrive back in Cumbria in early July (county bird reports), so the presence of YWW/m on 16th July was not un- usual. It could have been a failed breeder, but if it had arrived on its breeding site in late May, it would have had just enough time to raise a family before returning south to its winter destination. If I can obtain any information from the owner of the satellite data about either of these birds, I will let you know. Doug Radford 97 Swift survey 2018 - preliminary results The CBC pilot Swift survey was carried out last summer by around 70 volun- teers. Data was also received from the local Swift groups. Thank you to all who took part. We believe that the data collected this year and in future years will prove both interesting as well as valuable to planning authorities. Aims and scope There were two strands to the survey. The main aim was to carry out timed counts in suitable habitats. A subsidiary aim was to detail any nests found. As nests are difficult to find, Swifts dart in and out in the blink of an eye, it was envisaged that few would be discovered. This assessment did not allow for so many eagle-eyed surveyors and in particular the work of local Swift groups who have been amassing data on nests for some years. We therefore now have details of hundreds of nest sites around the county. The data for all these nests will take some time to process and is therefore not considered for this preliminary report. Coverage The map overleaf shows the 126 locations where a total of 535 counts were made. Good coverage of the county was achieved with surveys spread over thirty-nine 10km squares. A number of points selected around Carlisle, a sprinkling of our major towns and some smaller villages and hamlets provided a good mix of suitable habitats.

Field north of 'Laithholme', Park Broom, Carlisle, CA6 4QH _____________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION 1.1 That planning permission is granted for the reasons stated in Appendix 1 and subject to the conditions in Appendix 2. 2.0 THE PROPOSAL 2.1 The application site is a field located adjacent to an unclassified road leading south from the A689 to the hamlet of Park Broom, which is situated to the east of Carlisle. This section of the field is currently being used as the contractors compound for the new sewer works. A 3m wide section of hedgerow has been removed to give access for the contractor's compound. This would leave space for provision of the access gates for entry into the pumping station. 2.2 The proposal is for construction of an underground pumping station to serve a new sewer being built as part of a first time sewerage scheme for the village of Park Broom. Currently properties are served by septic tanks, which discharge via ditches, some of which are heavily polluted, to the River Eden. The above ground development would consist of a concrete slab over the pumping station and a control kiosk. In addition there would be a grass seeded compacted stone access track and turning space created to enable servicing of the development.

  • Phylogeography of Finches and Sparrows
    In: Animal Genetics ISBN: 978-1-60741-844-3 Editor: Leopold J. Rechi © 2009 Nova Science Publishers, Inc. Chapter 1 PHYLOGEOGRAPHY OF FINCHES AND SPARROWS Antonio Arnaiz-Villena*, Pablo Gomez-Prieto and Valentin Ruiz-del-Valle Department of Immunology, University Complutense, The Madrid Regional Blood Center, Madrid, Spain. ABSTRACT Fringillidae finches form a subfamily of songbirds (Passeriformes), which are presently distributed around the world. This subfamily includes canaries, goldfinches, greenfinches, rosefinches, and grosbeaks, among others. Molecular phylogenies obtained with mitochondrial DNA sequences show that these groups of finches are put together, but with some polytomies that have apparently evolved or radiated in parallel. The time of appearance on Earth of all studied groups is suggested to start after Middle Miocene Epoch, around 10 million years ago. Greenfinches (genus Carduelis) may have originated at Eurasian desert margins coming from Rhodopechys obsoleta (dessert finch) or an extinct pale plumage ancestor; it later acquired green plumage suitable for the greenfinch ecological niche, i.e.: woods. Multicolored Eurasian goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis) has a genetic extant ancestor, the green-feathered Carduelis citrinella (citril finch); this was thought to be a canary on phonotypical bases, but it is now included within goldfinches by our molecular genetics phylograms. Speciation events between citril finch and Eurasian goldfinch are related with the Mediterranean Messinian salinity crisis (5 million years ago). Linurgus olivaceus (oriole finch) is presently thriving in Equatorial Africa and was included in a separate genus (Linurgus) by itself on phenotypical bases. Our phylograms demonstrate that it is and old canary. Proposed genus Acanthis does not exist. Twite and linnet form a separate radiation from redpolls.

  • Revised Supporter Comments
    The following is a list of comments submitted to the City Council in support of the original 2017 planning application submitted by Carlisle Waverley Viaduct Trust for a footpath and cycleway over the viaduct. This application was put on hold pending the Environment Agency completing their flood protection review for the viaduct embankment. Fortunately they did allow us, in the interim, to go ahead with revised plans for a footpath only with steps down the embankment; planning permission for this scheme was granted. 17 Howe Street, Carlisle, CA1 2HS (Supports) Comment submitted Tue 15 Aug 2017 The Waverley crossing of the River Eden is a critical element of a magnificent circular pathway which could offer welcome opportunities for healthy exercise and quiet contemplation, to residents and visitors alike, in addition to a convenient access from Etterby to Caldewgate. Indeed, with some imaginative effort, I believe a well-curated and promoted route could constitute an extra dimension to the city`s tourist attractions. I could not believe that it had been barricaded when I returned to the city of my birth as it had been a training run for fitness enthusiasts since the closure of the rail line. My grateful thanks to those who have worked so hard to keep alive the idea of preserving the Waverley Viaduct structure and call upon the relevant authorities to support the Trust in the achievement of its` objectives. 24 Woodlands, Great Corby, Carlisle, CA4 8LX (Supports) Comment submitted Mon 31 Jul 2017 Opening a footpath joining two parts of the city using the Waverley Viaduct would create a beautiful link using a pre-existing and historic landmark.
